USE OF MEMBRANE COMPOUNDS ON CONCRETE SURFACES THAT ARE TO BE PAINTED
CORPS OF ENGINEERS 'STANDARD PRACTICE FOR CONCRETE' PROHIBITS USE OF CURING COMPOUNDS ON CONCRETE SURFACES THAT ARE TO BE PAINTED. SINCE SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS MIGHT BE EFFECTED ON SOME CONSTRUCTION IF CURING COMPOUNDS THAT COULD BE PAINTED OVER WERE AVAILABLE. A STUDY WAS MADE TO LEARN IF THERE ARE CURING COMPOUNDS THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY USED AS A BASE FOR PAINT, AND TO EVALUATE ANY LOCATED. A MARKET ANALYSIS LOCATED SIX SUITABLE COMPOUNDS: TWO CHLORINATED RUBBER AND EPOXY BASE, TWO CHLORINATED RUBBER AND PARAFFIN BASE, A STYRENE-BUTADIENE BASE, AND AN ALKYD- BASE MATERIAL. SEVEN PAINTS WERE SELECTED FOR TESTING WITH EACH CURING COMPOUND. RESULTS SHOWED THAT ALL SIX CURING COMPOUNDS CAN BE PAINTED WITH MOST OF THE PAINTS WITH NO ADVERSE EFFECT WHEN EXPOSED INDOORS AT MODERATE TEMPERATURES. /AUTHOR/
